How can I put things up for sale?Click on the notice board. Press the tab that says Auction Progress. Then the button at the bottom of the page that says start auction. Then drag your item into the slot provided. You can put two prices, the starting bid for the auction and a buy out fee. Then select Setup Auction and your item is open for bidding.

However, you will only receive this notice if you are online on the toon that placed the auction at the time of the event. A message will not appear when you log in if it was sold while you were offline.

The timer has gone to zero and I haven’t won the auction – what has happened?Unfortunately there is a little bug in the auction progress countdown timer meaning it doesn’t display correctly.
Add the item to your interest list and check the timer there – that one is accurate.

I won an auction but I didn’t receive my items/I lost an auction but didn’t receive my money back.Go to the “Ended auctions” tab. Your money and items can be retrieved from there.

How do I get orange stats?Any equipment dropped by monsters (and some promotion items) is able to have orange stats. These stats are randomly awarded and if an item drop by a monster does not have orange stats you can reward them at the professional blacksmith in the black market.

Note: Equipment obtained from quests or purchased from NPC’s are not able to be awarded orange stats.

How can I reroll my gear?There are two ways to recreate gear.

Method one: Recreation runes.
Visit the professional blacksmith in bootleggary, place the item you wish to reroll in the bottom slot and the recreation rune in the top slot then press reward.

Method two: Combination.
Visit the professional blacksmith in bootleggary, you need three of the same item (with the same yellow stats). Place them in the slots the press combine, they turn into one item with new orange stats.

Why can’t I reroll my gear?Not all equipment can be rerolled. Items obtained from quests or NPC’s as well as some promotion items and most accessories can not be awarded with orange stats, thus can not be rerolled either.

Yes, it can. When an ultimate mode toon dies they will be deleted if they don’t have a resurrection rune or are not resurrected by a priest with level 2 resurrection.

UM’s will also not be deleted, or use up a rune, if they die in a 1 v 1 battle. However will be deleted if killed in PvP or GvG.

What is a resurrection rune?A resurrection rune is an AP item that prevents a UM character from being deleted. Regular resurrection must be in your inventory, Continuous resurrection runes must be activated.

Continuous resurrection runes must be activated prior to death but are active for as long as the time specified on them, with no limit on how often you can die.
Continuous runes come in various lengths, 3hr and 6 hr runes run by time active in game, any longer timed runes run on real time.

Small resurrection runes work the same as Regular res runes, but do not prevent exp loss on NM/HM toons.

Target resurrection runes allow you to target and revive another player’s UM.

Where do I get a resurrection rune?Resurrection runes are an AP item available in both website and in game item malls, but can also be purchased from other players.

My UM was deleted can I get it back?If your UM is deleted it is possible to get it back. You need an item called a character revival it is an AP item. It can be purchased from other players but please be very careful when “trading” these. Please read this post: Stranger Danger – SailorSpira if you wish to know how to safely trade them.

F) Etin.

Please note these stat points can not be collected until you reach level 16.

Note: If you get a stat reset you will need to re-collect your points from the VET manager.

What is the point of altars?
Capturing an altar gains bless for your faction, losing an altar means your faction loses bless (about half what you gained for capturing it).
The more bless a faction has, the more bonuses they get.You can find more information on bless here:Shaiya Information – Blessing of the Goddess

H) Aeria Points.

What are Aeria Points?

Aeria Points are sold by Aeria Games, they allow players to purchase special items not otherwise available* in game.

* Players who purchase items with Aeria points often sell them to other players for in game gold or items.

I) Teleportation stone and recorded points.

What is a teleportation stone?

A teleportation stone is an AP item that is available at the cost of 99 AP for 5 stones.

How do Teleportation stones work?To use a Teleportation stone, you need to record a teleportation point. To do this go to the location you wish to record and right click your teleportation stone. You will then have the option to “Store the mark”.

You can then move to that location from any other, just click your teleportation stone and click the “Move” button by the recorded point you want to go to.

A teleportation stone alone will give you only one available recordable teleportation point. Charms are needed to be able to record and use more teleportation points.

My Blue Dragon/White Tiger/Red Phoenix Charm says it has x recordable points. What does this mean?This means that whenever you use a teleportation stone, you will have the option of storing and using up to x different teleportation points when activating a teleportation stone.

How do I change the element on my level 45 Epic weapon?Once you complete your level 43 epic quest, you may change the element on your weapon.

Light:

Go to Silvaren and speak to Alius Magicartisan. You then have the option to change your water weapon to either wind, fire or earth.

Fury:

Go to Helm Marsh and speak to Palbatus. You then have the option to change your fire weapon to either wind, water or earth.

Note: This is a new weapon, any enchantments done on the orginal weapon will not be present on the new one.

Can Epics be traded?The only Epics that can be traded are the level 25 ones. The others can however be passed to your other toons via your warehouse.

Can I lose my Epic in PvP?The only Epic weapon you can drop is the level 25 one. As the rest are non tradeable, they are also unable to be dropped.

How do I get multiple Epic weapons?To gain aditional elemental weapons (from level 43 Epic quest), many players level up aditional normal mode toons to level 43, complete their epic quest then pass the weapon to their main character via their warehouse.

Dread quests are special quests that get a player a set of dread armour (lvl 29-32).

They ask you to kill antelopes, boars and bison, all of which are together, south out of the Army Fort, keep going down the road, past the troll area until you run into them. They actually span across the road, so its hard to miss them. Kill the necessary amount, then return to warunes camp and talk to the three quest givers, they give you items, now talk to the 4th quest giver and he’ll reward you with the chest item.

Why aren’t they dropping the quest items?Unfortunately these are rare drops. Which means it can makes quite a while for them to drop.

What does “Need previous quest” mean? You will only be able to start the quest for the gauntlets (light) if you have completed the quest Failed Experiment. This quest begins from Creath Question out side of Fedion Dungeon, it has several parts and ends in apulune.

I didn’t get my gear but the quest dot is gone.Speak to the NPC again. If no options are available then submit a ticket.

Double check your quest description. Make sure you are killing the exact monster required. Many monsters have very similar names.

I spoke to the NPC but didn’t get my reward.Try speaking to the NPC again. If you are unable to, check your quest log, see if you have been given an additional part of the quest, or an item to trigger the quest.

Game Sages (GS) are volunteers. Normal players like you or me who have been recognized for their contributions to the community. They help Game Masters (GM’s) with many things, events, reporting bad behaviour, testing content etc.

On the forum, they are recognized in the ShoutBox by the green background on their name. In threads they will be recognized by a GameSage: Shaiya tag under their name. In the game they have a GS tag in their name. They also have access to a GS only part of the forums.

B) Who are the GS’s?

Each server/Faction has its own team of dedicated GS’s. You can find the full list of current GS’s here.

C) How to find a GS in game.

GS’s will always have the prefixed tags [GS] on their character name. This is so they can be clearly identified by the community. If you need assistance keep an eye out for one of these tagged players or ask in trade chat if a GS is online.

Note: GS’s will never claim GS status on an untagged toon. Please only trust those with the appropriate tags.

D) Other ways of contacting a GS.

At times you will be unable to contact a GS in game on your server/faction, but please don’t fret there are other ways to find a GS.

Check other Servers/Factions.

Sometimes when no one is available to assist you on your Server/faction you can try for a GS on another.

Try Shoutbox.There are often GS’s lurking around on the forums. Asking for one on shoutbox often gets a nice green response.

Send a private message via website.Please feel free to send a message to a GS if you have questions. Just please make sure you are set to: allow private messages, if you are not then we are unable to send a reply.

MeeboMeebo is the new messanger function on bottom of the AGE forums. If a GS is on your Friend list then they will also be on your Meebo (that chat bar on the bottom of the page).

Although GS’s are mainly in game support, many GS’s are also forum active. You can send a message to one of the following GS’s if you have any questions or require assistance. However please make sure that you settings are set to allow private messages, otherwise we are unable to reply to you.

How can I stop it?If someone is harassing you, then I strongly advise blocking them. Also avoid them as much as possible. Please be aware that you can turn party, battle and transaction requests to auto reject in user options.

It is also very important that if someone is harassing you that you report them.

How can I report it?Take as many screenshot’s as you can, the more proof the better. Then go to www.aeriagames.com/contact select game support, then report behaviour. Fill out the form, include links to your screenshots in the proof section. You can upload your screenshot’s to free picture sharing sites like photobucket or ImageShack.

B) Inappropriate language.

What is considered inappropriate?

This can be a bit of a grey area at times, but basically any curse words, racist or other discriminatory terms. As a general guide line if you feel someone can find it offensive (with in reason) don’t use it. If someone asks you not to use a word or term because it’s offencive please respect that request and player.

It is also important to note that spelling is irrelevant. Purposely misspelling a curse word does not mean it is not a curse word as the intent is still the same.

Do I have to put up with this?Absoloutly not. If you witness a player using inappropiate language you should take a screenshot, then block the player. You should also report the player.

How do I report it?Take as many screenshot’s as you can, the more proof the better. Then go to www.aeriagames.com/contact select game support, then report behaviour. Fill out the form, include links to your screenshots in the proof section. You can upload your screenshot’s to free picture sharing sites like photobucket or ImageShack.

C) Inappropriate name.

What is considered inappropriate?

Anything another player can (reasonably) find offencive. This includes but is not limited too: Curse words, sexually explict, drug referance, racist or discriminatory terms.

How do I report a name?There are two ways to report an inappropriate name, but both require the exact spelling of the players name. You can either pass the name onto a GS who can pass it to a GM. If no GS’s are available you can submit a ticket. A screenshot is not required in this instance but is helpful.

D) Hacking or exploiting.

What is an exploit?

An exploit is taking advantage of bugs or glitches in the game to access area’s or create advantage not normally available to players with in normal game play restrictions.

How do I report them?The best way to get rid of them is to pass the spammers name onto a GS. But please keep in mind GS’s can only have them removed if a GM is available.

F) GS/GM Impersonation.

How do I know if someone is a real GS/GM?

Firstly a GS’s and GM’s will always be tagged, and will not claim GS status on a non tagged toon.
Secondly a GS/GM will NEVER ask for your password or account info*.
Thirdly you can find a list of all current GS/GM’s here.

How do I report this?The best way to report a GS/GM impersonater is by contacting a GS and passing the name of the imposter onto them. If you are unable to contact a GS then submit a ticket.

I’m being KSed.

A) What is KSing?B) Action I can take against KSers.C) Bosses and KSing.

A) What is KSing?

KSing stands for Kill Stealing. It is the act of attacking a monster another player is already fighting, thus preventing them from gaining EXP.

B) Action I can take against KSers.

A single KS is not an issue. It is a common occurance that players accidently KS one another when grinding in the same area. If this happens then please appologise and try not to do it again.

If a player continues to KS you, then firstly ask them to stop. It is also important to note that not all players understand what KSing is so it might help to explain it.

If they do not stop then this can be considered harassment. If a GS is available, try whispering them to see if they can resolve the issue. If no GS is available take screenshot’s or FRAPS of the KSing and yourself asking them to stop and submit a ticket.

Please do not curse or abuse the other player. Do not KS them back. There is no point getting yourself into trouble over another players behaviour. If possible move away from them.

C) Bosses and KSing.

Bosses are not like regular mobs, they are open for competion. It does not matter who hit’s first or who was there first. There is a slight exception to this when it comes to quest bosses*. In order to kill a quest boss you must have at least one quester in your party, or have no questers present in the room. If you do not have the quest and no one in your party has the quest and another party is present with a quester. You must not take the boss from that party.

This also means that mini bosses in Stigma Caves and Auizen Ruins can neither be KSed or claimed.

“Unfortunately there is a little bug in the auction progress countdown timer meaning it doesn’t display correctly.” This is not a bug, it have been put on purpose to prevent last second bidding. You don’t need too much inteligence to figure out you can bid on last second so you would have the most chances to win. I would rather say “Fortunately”
